I'm so glad you're curious about me, because I'm curious about you and what's going on in your neighborhood. (Not in a creepy way, though.)
I cover a variety of eastern Massachusetts communities: Barnstable-Hyannis, Braintree, Falmouth, Framingham, Natick, Waltham and Woburn. Always interested in what's going on in these places, what might be going on in the future, and what you think is important to read about.
I've reported and edited news in Massachusetts, Maine and New York City. But I grew up in the Boston area, and my wife spent much of her childhood in Hyannis. So it's a joy to return to my roots and write about places I love.
Please drop me a line anytime at william.hall@patch.com.
